@hogru Welcome to the forum. Could you please let me know which sync service you're using for your preferences? You can check in Alfred's Advanced tab if you don't recall, as you'll see the path to your synced preferences. You'll need to ensure that the sync service is set to keep your Alfred preferences offline, as Alfred needs constant access to the preferences, so you may see this kind of behaviour if this isn't the case: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/#always-offline Once you've set your preferences as being saved offline, you should be able to delete the superfluous workflows. Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero

@OmarKN You can search for all your snippets by title and keyword from the Clipboard/Snippet Viewer, without having to drill down into a collection first, so you don't need to know which collection the snippet is in: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/snippets/#browsing-snippets Using Cmd + S will open the snippet, ready to edit, in the Snippets preferences. If you scroll down past the list of collections, all individual snippets are also listed in the Viewer.

@zlebandit Apologies! I thought I'd responded to your message but apparently I hadn't. Alfred uses the macOS Contacts API, so exclusion from Spotlight won't have an impact on results returned via the API if there are indeed duplicates. If you're finding that the Spotlight results with exlusion of duplicates are good for you, you can use this method of finding contacts instead. Open Alfred's preferences to Features > Contacts > Advanced and check the box next to "Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts". Alfred will then use the same Spotlight results search as the workflow, and take into account any exclusions you've put in place, so should suit your needs Let me know how you get on! Cheers, Vero

@CharlesVermeulen To expand on @iandol's response: OpenAI offer some API free credit on account creation (it's now $5 I believe) which is valid for 3 months, then expires. If your credit has expired, or you've used it up, you'll see the error message you've received. Reiterating what has been said before; The ChatGPT web-based interface is separate from the API, so while the website is free, there is a cost to the API, however small, so you'll likely need to add a few dollars of credit here: https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview Cheers, Vero

@frapaul83 Did you do the deeper reindex (step 6) this time? It deletes the existing Spotlight metadata index before starting a fresh index, so it tends to clear out any issues that may have been getting in the way of a reliable index. If you now drag files to the File Troubleshooter, you should see a healthy metadata report for the files you're looking for

@pseudocannon Before running the workflow, open the Debugger, then use the workflow's keyword. If there are any error messages from the debugger, share them here so that we can help you further.

@Gold As @iandol said in his earlier reply, cost increases as the chat grows so if you're using a long-term chat window, extra tokens will be used as the previous conversations are being included as context in the chat. If you don't need the context of your previous questions, use Cmd + Return to clear the chat and start with a fresh slate, which will ensure you're not using additional tokens in the background for context. In terms of costs, GPT 4.5 Turbo is $10/million tokens, whereas GPT 3.5 Turbo is $0.50/million tokens, so it may not only depend on how much context is being included, but will also depend which model is being used by the other services you're using.

@frapaul83 As you can see from the troubleshooting report, the files on your Google Drive are not indexed by macOS right now. The easiest solution for finding content on your Google Drive will be to use the workflow here: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/google-drive/ The workflow doesn't rely on the macOS metadata to return results from Google Drive, so will work even though the metadata is missing on your Mac. Having said that, if you drag other files from your Mac and see the same warning that metadata is missing, you may want to follow the re-indexing steps here so that you can find results from the rest of your Mac in the usual way with Alfred: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Let us know how you get on

@MINT Not quite. Here's an example: I'm using "s" and choosing Safari as my top result, then using "sp" and choosing Spotify. Even I choose Spotify 100 times with "sp", Spotify won't suddenly become the first result for "s", as that's not what I've selected in the past for the keyword "s". So if you want a particular result for the keyword "X", choose it a few times and it'll become your top result for it. Hope this helps!

@alexwlchan Thanks for highlighting this, I've updated the text in the Bug Report forum header for clarity: As for the "Check for updates...", you might be thinking of the item under the bowler hat in the menu bar, which opens the Update tab. There's no "Check for updates" button in the preferences as opening the Update tab automatically checks for updates. If there is an update, you'll see a button in the bottom right to download and install the latest update. Hope that clarifies things Cheers, Vero

@cocobriclot Could you please let us know the path to your preferences? (You'll find this in Alfred's Advanced prefs) If you open Finder and find the folder, right-click and ensure that it's set to be available offline.

@Gold If you open the workflow's configuration, which models are you using? You can see the pricing of OpenAI's different models on this page: https://openai.com/pricing#language-models

@M3NT1 Using Alfred's Snippets in Windows/VMs isn't officially supported; I'm providing suggestions based on what I know of remote desktop software, and informal reports from other users with a similar setup to yours who have said it worked for them over the years. You'll need to either experiment with your configuration, or use the workaround I mentioned (copying from the Clipboard and using Ctrl + V in Windows to paste) but this isn't something I'm able to walk you through as we don't use Windows Remote Desktops. Cheers, Vero

@M3NT1 My reply a few posts above is the closest thing we can suggest; It seemed to work for the user I was helping at the time, so you'll need to look at your Mac > Windows configuration. If you can get the Windows/Remote Desktop to accept Cmd + V as a paste of your Mac clipboard into Windows, you should be able to do this.

@zlebandit Thanks for sending in your Diagnostics. I've had a look and nothing jumps at me as an obvious issue, so could you please try changing your keyword from "mail" to something else, like "bob"? When you type "bob" for the email action, do you still see multiples? This allows us to check whether, as per Vítor's earlier suggestion, there might be something else using the same keyword and returning results at the same time. If you still get duplicates, could you take a look at your Contacts app content? Do you have multiple sources for contacts, e.g. your iCloud contacts and a secondary source like Outlook, work, etc? Do you have multiple address books? How are these configured?

Published a couple of days ago, a suitably Friday'ish video; Playing the Memory Pairs game in Alfred:

@Sharpness777 Welcome to the forum It's not possible to cross-grade from the Single User license to the Mega Supporter within the same version. If you opt for the Single User license, when the next version of Alfred is announced, you would become eligible for an upgrade to the Mega Supporter at a discount. Cheers, Vero

@p3av8r Keep in mind that unchecking these doesn't immediately stop them, and they'll continue to have accessibility until they, or macOS, are restarted, so could still be having an interfering effect. Have you tried removing Alfred (using the minus button) and re-adding (using the + button) then restarting your Mac, rather than just unchecking and re-checking it? While it isn't usually required, could you please try granting Alfred Input Monitoring? You'll find this in the Privacy & Security list, right below Accessibility. Let us know how you get on

Adding to the collection, here's the Thumbnail Navigation workflow video:

@anyland Could you please take a look at this thread? If you're using the hack to remove the Sonoma redesigned text cursor, this will explain why you're not seeing a cursor in Alfred. Cheers, Vero

@Aadako Could you please try setting your search scope to / in Default Results temporarily? To do this, open Alfred's preferences to Features > Default Results, click "Reset..." at the bottom right corner of the search scope and choose Full Disk. Is the app now being returned in results? If so, it's likely that the macOS scoping isn't correctly returning the app when the narrower scope is set. Is this the only app with which you're experiencing this issue? @cjmegatron81 Could you follow the same instructions as above for iA Writer and let me know how you get on?

Could you expand on what you mean by that?

@Gill Welcome to the forum Could you please let us know which sync service you're using? Could you also check that your preferences are set to always be stored offline if you're using a sync service that can offload preferences to be online-only? More details on this here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/#always-offline We can take it from there to help you work out why Alfred can't make certain preference changes.

@MINT There seem to be two aspects to your issue; First, a lag or delay when searching, and second, a possible permissions issue where knowledge isn't remembered for your previous searches. Tackling the lag issue first; Having taken a look at your search scope, the first thing I would suggest is to take out any external volume out of the default search scope (at least for now) to establish whether a secondary drive that is slow to respond is part of the issue. Next, I can see you're on an older Sonoma update, so I would recommend updating to the latest (14.4.1) Once you've done this, could you please search and let me know if you're still experiencing any lag?

@MINT Given you've already rebuild the Spotlight index, could you please provide the output from the File Troubleshooter for a few files you're having difficulties finding? This will help work out what's happening on your Mac. To do this, open Alfred 5's preferences to the Help tab > Troubleshooting > Run troubleshooting... then drag in a few files you're having issues with, and paste the output in your reply here. Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email it to our info@ address so that I can take a look at your configuration. Alfred 5 is working great on Sonoma and M2 Macs, so it's likely an underlying index issue, so please provide some more details and I'll be happy to help you out. Cheers, Vero
